Former GHADC MDC no more

TURA, May 12: Former member of the GHADC, Mrinal Marak, passed away after reportedly suffering a stroke at his residence on Wednesday.
Marak had won from Naguapara constituency of Tikrikilla in the 2014 GHADC elections on an NCP ticket. During his five-year tenure, he became chairman of the resource mobilisation committee in the district council. He had also contested this year’s GHADC elections from Naguapara on a Congress ticket but lost to Dhormonath Sangma of the NPP.
Condoling his demise, former GHADC Chairman, Denang T Sangma, recalled his close friendship with Marak and his contribution to the Council. “We both won in the 2004 elections from the same party and became close friends. As a member, he contributed to the Council and his untimely demise is very sad,” Sangma said.
